22 Week Ultrasound

I had my 22 week ultrasound this week, I am going to be be getting an ultrasound every month of my pregnancy and it may eventually become twice a month. Everything looks good, I had them double check and you could CLEARLY tell that they were both girls.

Baby A weighs around 14 ozs, everything is looking great with her. Baby B was the active one this time and she weighs around 15 ozs. So they are almost a pound each, I can really feel them moving now and they are very active. Both babies are breach, which is fine because I am having a scheduled C-Section anyways since I had one with Morgan.

They did say that I have the best type of twins there are to have because they have separate sacs and separate placenta's, so we can get the longest gestational age out of them. I didn't get any pictures this time around, but next time I will ask for some. Also the machine's are pretty high tech so I might see if they can get a 3D picture for me, since they should be plumped up by then.

All is good here, I am starting to feel more sore and wake up quite a bit to go to the bathroom at night, I am getting pretty big, in fact I have to break down and go and buy a few essential clothing items, even my pajama pants are getting tight!!!

I will keep everyone updated!!!

Here is my menu for this week, we have another ultrasound on Thursday so I will make sure that I update that. Have a great week!!

Sunday: Steak, potatoes and Corn
Monday: Taco's, Beans and Mexican Rice
Tuesday: Spaghetti and Garlic Toast
Wednesday: Chicken Pitas, Pasta Salad and Crispy Crowns
Thursday: Tilapia, Rice and Green Beans
Friday: ??? maybe order out, maybe go out
Saturday: BBQ something (we have to grocery shop)

Like I said, I will be updating after our monthly ultrasound on Thursday!!!

20 Weeks

Well I am now half way through this pregnancy and I have to say that I feel pretty good. My heart burn has started, which I can't stand, but other than that I feel great. At my 16 week checkup I had only gained 5 pounds so I was told that I should add just a little bit more calories in my diet to try to put on some more weight, so at my 20 week appointment I found out that I successfully done that and gained another 9 lbs, so I am up 14 pounds and 20 weeks to go.

We had an ultrasound done when I was 18 weeks and we found out that we are having 2 more girls!!! Yup a household full of girls is what is in store for us, Everything looked good at the ultrasound, the babies were progressing right on target. They did say that there was a little fluid on Baby B's brain, but that it was perfectly normal and it will go away. I am set right now to get my ultrasounds once a month unless needed otherwise, so I will have plenty more updates. I definitely "feel" more pregnant than 20 weeks, by that I mean my joints hurt, my back hurts, walking far is getting hard, etc....but again, overall I feel great!!

Now we are just trying to get things ready for them to come, we haven't even started their nursery yet, time is really flying by with this 2ND pregnancy, more than it did with the 1st!! I will keep the updates coming!!
